Baseball Survives Wintry Winds s Boxing ** Soccer Football s Polo s Billiards THORNS, NOT ROSES, IS ROBINSON'S LOT Yankees Even Up Series with Brooklyn by 6 to 1 Victory. KING COLE MAKES SUCCESSFUL DEBUT Chance's Men Play Spry Oame of Baseball Ir Spite of the WlRtry Weather. Then? were no rones for Wllhert Robin? son yeatsrday. Baseball courtesy has Its 'Imita. The YanU-teva proved it ?so at ETobets R"ie1d An the afternoon vts not dedi? cated to anybody in particular, the men of KYank Chanca? took It as their own, s -udaly pushing the Buperbas out of the ?ray. New York won by a score of C to 1. ) Judging from their showing of yester? day, ("hanoe should taJie his men North and not South for their training trip. In , the face of a wind that snarled and bit : the Yankeea aklpped about like a crowd | of premature grasshoppers The fact ? that April, careless Janitor of nature, had | 'orgotten to turn on the heat, did not t worry them In the leant. Fifteen hundred faithful fan? were on hand. "King" ?Col? made his metropolitan de bat. "Rucee??" was the verdict of every crltlo. He did not call on pip?, bowl or fiddlers, but on fast one?, curve and cross ftps. The-?* are -rt-rtjr-erix distinct steps in the majr.ix?. but ever so many more In I'ole'e wind-up. In one figure he failed. for try aa he might he could not quite fit his left foot into hi? right ear. Although he tied himself Into knots in plthclns. they wer? not to be compared to j the evolutions performed by the Brook lyn batters In trying to hit him. In four | innings King Cole allowed two hits and ' struck out three men "SHm" CaJdwell. who sang "This Is the life for me" in the South until Chance forced him to change his tune, began the game for New York. He seemed to Be almost as effective as hs was toward the end of last season. All In all, the T'eerlees Trader should rave at least two' effective hox-nen to start the season, 'udglng from the showing made by Cole und Caldwel? yesterday. Brooklyn s pitchers had more trouble. Turner Brown had a lot of difficulty In ???Mtlng the hall ov?ar the plate. His own ?v-lldness and the New Tork hatters stood in his way. Pfeffer, who finished the .lame for the Buperhaa. ahowed a good ? hange of pace. Chance began seme experimenting with the outfield problem, which may give him great deal of difficulty this season. He made a particul-irly appropriate choice Is sending Cook into the fray. Retnem-J her. the day was very oold Yes. you've i-iies?ed it. his team mates call hlra Doe." < 'ook said tha weather snlted him sp'en In Tetas he was captured by malaria and since then has spent most ??' hi? time in the grip of chills and ?r. ,'festerdny brouirht relief. He had y chill?. l-ester Channell. who hit ever so many Oase runs out in Denver, was put in the : ,ine-up by '."han' e lust after the first inn bag. He wa.? not conspicuous. Pecklnpa'igh put up a wonderful game ?hortstop. Fast or alow, to the left or right, made no difference to him. Wher ever the ball went in his territory he was ready for It. One of his throws was head-, e I ferrce-ward. but Harry Williams etucl-? ir> a hand in protest, and the hall stopped. -we*"ney threw In great fashion, and the ?mir hase which Ba-ooklvn atol*, waa a mft In th? first Inning the Yankees ham mered home enough runs to clinch the game. Mainel, in scoring the first one, made a sude which must have carried fully twenty feet. Brooklyn did not score until the third. The run was made at the expense of one of the most faithful workers In the world In deep right centre field a ?toop-shoul tered man has been engaged for the last vt> days In painting a hott!? of mineral ' igBB on the fence. He loves his art. Cheering fans, home , run drives and open thefts by umpires have not sufficed to make him turn or even check (ha steady movement of his ? r-ronh Then came Fischer and hammered the hall high and far. For a moment the fans were tenseiv stlent, for th? missile ???s headed straight for the head of the faithful pain ten. Then thev groaned. The bad! missed him by a fon. The patatSf dropped his brush and looked abo ;r. Even art cannot remain in fUhaeill In the fao* of such baseball. In the fourth inning the Yankees in creaa#d their lead, v. hen a double h Cook, a triple by Peck and a sacrifice fly : from S'wesenev's hat wete. hunched. The teams will meet again to-day.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE GOING OUT TO PL A Y GOLF TO-DA Y LITTLE PICK-UPS FROM THE DIAMOND Frank Chance May Do a Bit More Experimenting with Outfield. Frank Chance probsbly will try a few more experiments before he reaches a definite decision as to tlir? make-up cf his outfieM. Cook ??ems to hsve a chance to be the third member VPslsh and Holden have thetr places assured. Unless charles H. Fbbets is u ?usnad? la?; there will be an Elberfeld Pay before the season opens. The date has not been announced as yet. Before Dick Klgan went on his trip around the world he almost dropped out of the big leagues. Now he Is being hailed as a star shortstop by the Brook? lyn fans. All of which goes to show what travel will do for a man. , "The alarm clocks will he here next ?reek!" shouted a fan when Hartzeil was caught napping at SfSl hase In pester* day's game. Pecklnpaugh's play In two games has been little short of amazing. He has ac? cepted twelve chancea, many of them dif? ficult, without an error, in spite of the handicap of cold weather and soggy foot? ing. The passing of "Walter Hutchlnson, the Yankee pitcher, who was hailed as the strongest man In the big leagues, leaves Tesreau aa the most available "whlto hope" of the major circuit. Marsana, the Cuban outfielder of the Reds, Is reported to have quit the team because Herzog insisted that he should play In eptte Of a sore shoulder. Fans cannot fall to recognize Walsh, the new outfielder of the Yankees, who hap been showing such fine form In prac? tice. He Is the only man In the aguad who wears a red shirt.

Columbia Wins Rough and Tumble Game of Soccer Cornell Eleven, Worn Out, Weakens Badly in the Second Half. FAST PACE TELLS ON HEAVIER TEAM Several Players Nearly Come to Blows Because of Over zealousness. In a rough and tumble gam' Columbia j defeat?** Cornell at sorrcer on f outh Field yesterday sftemoon by a scor*. of 8 to ?, and thereby gslned Its first victory in the seri?s for the championship of the Inter? collegiate league. Worn out by their tussle with Harvard on Thursday and the trip from Boston, the Ithaca men played a sturdy game and held Columbia in check all through the first half. In the second period, however, the reserve of the Columbia eleven began to tell, and the Blue and Write won with ease. Se-veraJ fist fights were narrowly avert? ed among the players, and one of the Columbia men?Hamilton, the centre half -was charged ao energetically in the sec? ond period that he wa? knocked out and had to leave the game, Frlkhoff taking his place. H. H. Shanholt, tha Columbia centre forward, and Thomas, the Corne;i right half, had a passage at arms In the second half, but they were separated before harm .ame to either. There were several other such occurrences, most of them, however, being dne to ovri?ealousneas rather than intentional foul play. t-T. H. Rhnnholt Hart"d the scoring for Columbia early In the first period, but Russell soon evened matters up for Cor? ner, and a few minutes Iat?-r the same player put the visitors In the lead by bouncing the ball through Krefeld's guard for a smashing goal. The Columbia men, although lighter and faster, had difficulty in following the ball. When they did get It, however, they passed well, and In that department out? played the more sluggish eleven from Ithaca. * It was the deftnes? of Hamilton In manipulating the leather on a dribble down the field that ga\ e < olumbla Fs second tally and the one that tied the score as the period was drawing to a uio.se. Both taams set a fa?t na?-? In the second period, bul ''ornen was unabl? to koi-p It up, and about the middle of the period weakened perceptibly, enabling Columbia to come through with the three goals I? which the game was won.
